TASTING NOTES

An intense red color with crimson tints. Rich and lasting red-fruit aromas (blackcurrant and wild strawberries), along with notes of mild spices. Full and unctuous on the palate, with aromas backed up by the very fine tannins and an elegant structure. It is the result of the very careful vinification of perfect grapes.
